Enzymes

General function:
Involved in catalytic activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes both the ATP-dependent activation of exogenously supplied lipoate to lipoyl-AMP and the transfer of the activated lipoyl onto the lipoyl domains of lipoate-dependent enzymes. Is also able to catalyze very poorly the transfer of lipoyl and octanoyl moiety from their acyl carrier protein
Gene Name:
lplA
Uniprot ID:
P32099
Molecular weight:
37926
Reactions
ATP + lipoate = diphosphate + lipoyl-AMP.
Lipoyl-AMP + protein = protein N(6)-(lipoyl)lysine + AMP.
